The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is:

A nozzle, comprising a body formed in one casting and having an integral flange at a point between the ends of the body, said body at one end beyond the flange being tapered and threaded for attachment to a hose, the threaded tapered portion having a conical elongated chamber diverging toward the extremity of the tapered threaded portion, the larger end of said conical chamber being provided with a web having a plurality of apertures, one of which being central of the web, the other being positioned adjacent to the central aperture, thereby acting to break up the force of the stream of water in its flow asit reaches the nozzle, the contracted end of said chamber terminating in a cylindrical passage concentric with the body, said body at its opposite end beyond the flange being provided with a cut-away portion the surface of which being curved in longitudinal direction corre spondingly to the longitudinal curvature of an egg, said cut-away portion having its abrupt curved butt end immediately adjacent the outlet of said cylindrical passage, and having its gradually curved end portion merging into the same plane with the inner portion of the wall of said cylindrical passage, whereby as the stream of water leaves the cylindrical passage, the stream will be caused to spread gradually into a Wide diverging thin sheet.
